I would have thought that the ferries to the Channel Islands counts as domestic, as they are also Crown Dependencies like the Isle of Man, which is allowed. Could the quizmasters clarify this matter.

We walk the 4 minutes (0.2 miles) to the Bus Station and get the 09:00 Stagecoach South service 13 to Alton (High Street (Stand B)), arriving at 09:50 Thursday morning.

Paul is correct here. The Channel Islands, and indeed the Isle of Man, are self governing Crown dependencies, thus not part of England, Scotland or, Wales. Outlying islands this is rule is intended to include are those of Shetland, the Isle of Wight (and suchlike) which fall within the juristiction of the UK mainland country.
Previous ruling on Channel Islands.
